We continue our look into the life and missionary work of Rebecca Protten.
Freidrich Martin, a German Moravian missionary mentored Rebecca. About her he wrote: "I have found nothing in her other than a love of God and his servants ... she has done the work of the Savior by teaching the Negro women and speaking about that which the Holy Spirit himself has shown her."
Rebecca went to the people that included: cane boilers, weavers, domestic servants and cotton pickers. But the people also came to her night meetings. Those who came were opposed to black men and women attending. Yet, they came.
She married a Moravian missionary and traveled back to Germany where her husband and daughter died. There she continued her tireless ministry.
She remarried and moved to Africa to found a school.
Her course ended in Africa.
